IDENTITIES - COMPLETE!

After a lot of actionscript, sweat and tears, my identities project is finally complete!

I am pleased with the finished result, I decided to go with a more linear presentation which took the users through the journey of my body. Each section of my body contained a different element. The interactive music box which was supposed to be linked to my ears was unsuccessful after numerous attempts, and due to the huge amount of frames and data i was using the quality of each song sounded terrible anyway. I replaced the music box with a small piece about my musical history and allowed users to listen to a song i had written called - Walk Like I'm Guilty.

I managed to overcome flash's 16,000 frame limit by splitting my presentation into two scenes and linking them with actionscript. This allowed me to export the file as one .swf as opposed to two seperate ones, which would quash alot of the effect of having this 'journey' through my personality.

Now i just have to finish this questionnaire and circulate it amongst family and friends!

Oh and not forgetting the evaluation.....
